Suddenly realized that I didn't have enough Rolling Stones in my music library, which led me to one my early-90's guilty pleasure movies: Freejack.
Man, that trailer was so cheesy. But I remember that it hit a lot of my whump buttons.
Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Me too! I mean, I remember almost nothing about it, and it may be objectively terrible, but I have good feelings about it from when I was a kid. That was when Emilio Estevez drove back in time and made out with Reese Witherspoon, right?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Dana, regarding Jodie Foster's character and her accent: I thought the character was supposed to be French -- she had a French name ("Delacourt") and spoke French with her family. Her odd accent was supposed to be from a twinge of French accent in someone who's otherwise completely fluent in English, I think. I agree it sounded a bit weird though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If that was the intent, it didn't sound French to me. And I know Foster is fluent in French, so it's a shame that the accent was so distracting.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I saw Mud last night. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. I was a little worried there for a minute about the portrayal of women characters. They weren't nearly developed enough, but they weren't all totally bad - like the way I thought they were going to go.
